The arrival.

It's the morning of Monday the 16th of March 2017, the Royagé family are moving all the way from New York to some town Vannesa's mother claims has a lot of things she can use to her advantage, but well really she's just being selfish and wants to get as far away as possible from the body she's just dumped in the big hole they're about to fill tomorrow morning. she's confident that the body's been covered and won't be found but it's not a risk she can take, Miss Royagé has been very messy and did not do any of this with a clear mind let's remember that at least. So now as she cries in the bathroom with memories of the dirt, the noise of the plastic sheets rustling and scraping against the ground as she tiredly drags this big heavy lifeless lump of shit into the woods. She remembers the hand drop out of the plastic almost as a reach for help as she pushed the lifeless lump into the hole and the loud thud of it hitting the bottom of the pit...Suddenly Vanessa bursts through the doors of her mothers bathroom begging for solutions for her to be able to stay she doesn't want to leave she's only just settled here and doesn't want to go through the process of being the new girl again no matter how much money you have or how many followers you have on the internet being the new girl is still scary it's still anxiety ridden, and she just couldn't bare the thought of going through it again she's only just made friends. Miss Royagé has none of it and loses her temper and screams at Vanessa to pack all of her belongings that she would like to take now and to help her brother do the same thing and maybe she will like this new town "there's a lot of things you can use to your advantage there sweety be brave and you will succeed the highest in life" Vannessa called her mother a high end reptile and stormed out of the room leaving Miss Royagé alone again with her reflection and thoughts, she gazed into the mirror at her dark almost black eyes stroking her long bleach blonde hair and started to chuckle, she laughed until she cried and then was violently sick.
So now the whole family is in the car, Miss Royagé , Vanessa and Henry, they drive for hours and hours only talking to Henry when he excitedly asked what something was outside or asked how long it would be until they got to their new home, after about 9 hours of driving they reached their "home" which is a very old scary hotel on a hill which looks more like a witches den but you know each to their own, the black panelling was cracking the front door was very dirty , there was smashed windows and dead birds spread across the lawn and the sign was creaking so loud it was something straight out of a nightmare, they walked up the steps and ring the door bell which lets out a weak ding sound, in seconds out of nowhere a figure appears through the dirty glass panel on the front door and the door swings open with a bang, they're greeted by an old man in green suspended pants, wellies and a bright purple jumper, a long white beard and combed hair, piercing blue eyes and a welcoming smile he pulls his hand from his pocket faster than anything and reaches towards Miss Royagé for a handshake, She looks down at his hand surprised and notices dark spots on the fabric at the bottom of his sleeves something that triggers memory in her mind and the most horrible feeling but regardless firmly shakes his hand and he says "hello there I'm Tim Barkley the owner how are you? what a surprise I haven't heard that bell ring in such a long time I thought I'd died" in a sarcastic bubbly voice , very cheerful and seemingly kind, he explained how the rooms are homey and warm but you may hear the odd strange noise now and then the house isn't a stranger to creepy creaking and strange banging and not to worry, Miss Royagé chuckled and explained she's not afraid of the dead there's no more damage they can do to her than the living can. Vanessa demanded her own room and refused to share with Henry so Miss Royage is very stressed about not having any peace you can see the stress pouring out of her eyes but she laughs and says well whatever keeps you happy my princess of fire , referring to Vanessas Natural red locks and steamy temper.
Miss Royagé pays 800 for 2 weeks stay and two rooms including food and water, as they're shown to their rooms Henry notices something strange at the end of the second floor corridor there seems to be a lady standing facing the wall but her feet aren't facing the same way, Henry looks away fast and asks Tim if his wife will be making them dinner , Tim laughs awkwardly saying "sadly it won't be a warm meal from a woman you'll be receiving tonight , my Mags passed away with the flowers this time five years ago now, bless her soul" Henry asks who the lady was in the corridor with the bendy feet and everybody just ignores him and continues to talk about dinner, dinners at 6 downstairs all together.
That's 3 hours away so Miss Royagé suggests her children go and take naps which they agree to whilst she takes a bath.

The hours pass and it's now dinner time and everybody is seated at the table, Tim, the Royagé family, Mrs Jones (preferably called Rose) , and Jackson ,Tim's 17 year old son.
Jackson has dark hair, dark eyes and a jaw chiselled by the gods.. well that's how Vanessa described him in her text to Bianca (B F F from three towns ago).
Tim has ordered in Chinese food and plated everything really neatly however it kind of still looks like a pile of crap seeing as the plates look and probably are about 200 years old cracks and stains but nobody complains , apart from Vanessa's Instagram feed of course.
Conversation is awkward, Miss Royagé asks Rose how long she's been staying here at the hotel and if she doesn't mind her asking, why?
Rose says she's been living here for well around 10 years shall we say Tim? And giggles super weirdly, everybody's looking at eachother awkwardly and Tim talks loudly breaking the silence with OH you know I don't count the time anymore sometimes I forget that I'm even here you know., Vanessa interrupts rudely and asks to be excused and then shakes her head and says actually uh no I am going to go to bed that's fine surely ok.. bye and walks away really fast and awkwardly looking back a bit surprised.
Vanessa runs up the stairs but trying to look calm at the same time she looks stupid to be honest and trips up the fourth step she prods on but she makes it up those stairs and rushes into her room and locks the door, she sits down staring at her phone in disbelief she looks in utter shock, she's only gone and looked up this hotel she's staying in and well she's not happy.
Vanessa phones Bianca and runs into the bathroom and locks that door too, before bianca can even finish saying the word hello Vanessa is vomiting words out of her mouth like there's no tomorrow, "Bianca I am going to die, I googled this place , there's a fricken article saying HAS NOBODY EVER GONE THERE OR IS IT JUST NOBODYS EVER LEFT and you know what b I feel it I feel it in my soul I'm doomed I am D TO THE M TO THE D DOOMED" Bianca is just like ok girl breathe alright , clicking her nails holding her phone against her shoulder , "i Googled this place too and you know there isn't even one bad review but there's only five and they're all from years ago aaaaand are from the same account sooo weird" Vanessa screams NOT HELPING can't you come here? 🙄
